    i'm toying with a new thread too. current one is all about my mortgage and OH's debt and my plans to pay down as much as possible to move. Now moving is a reality and I have a MF target of December 2020 I guess I should start a new and focused thread. I plucked a financial target of £2011 in 2011 as a mix of vouchers, survey cash and cashback.

    If you do start new threads put links on your current ones so I don't miss them! :)

    I think it's brilliant we are getting so focused for next year. I don't think many of our outgoings will change during 2011 (baby depending) but I do get an incremental payrise in April so that should help!

    I think a 'money neutral christmas' is a fab idea. I haven't budgeted at all for it this year and now wonder I have about £50 to last us 2 weeks! None on CC tho and paid out £150 for DH present and he treated himself to COD black ops out of joint account (will be knocking that of next months spends for him!!!) I am so mean! ;)

    Do you do BingoPort Michelle, Pam introduced me to it and I think it's a fab way of accruing vouchers to use for presents.

    Looking forward to some more kichen pics and don't worry -the washing machine will sell :)

    Mmmm, nice black worktops :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • How gross! Get them tucked up as soon as possible and enjoy your evening.... We are having the Tesco 'Takeaway' Indian in a box. A wild start to the weekend!

    Have fun,
